100% Treixadura, which I'm pretty sure I've never heard of before today. Fruit forward aromas that come through on the palate... ripe cantaloupe, peach, and a touch of honey... along with some nonfruit/mineral notes almost verging on the petrol of a Riesling. A lush body from the ripe fruits balanced by lemony acidity to keep it light and refreshing. "springtime and sunshine in a bottle" -MM #rootscase — 2 days ago

Garnacha and Syrah Rosé. Raspberry and cherry and minerals on the nose, spicy and minerally on the palate with good acidity and subtle fruit. Perfect spring day sipper. — 11 days ago

Black fruit forward aromas (black cherry, blackberry) with some graphite/slate minerals. Light on the palate with ripe black cherry with big tannins that kick in quickly but don't linger on. #rootscase

A blend of Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Early Muscat, and others. Very floral aromas that also come through on the palate along with citrus acidity, a weightier texture, and lingering minerality. Not my jam. — 4 days ago

I'd say off dry! Citrus, minerals, mild petrol aromas, but round on the palate with ripe peaches, and the "zippy acidity" has toned down since 2017 I guess. Should be lovely with spicy Thai!! — 13 days ago

A blend of Cab Sauv, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Early Muscat, and Sauv Blanc. The floral aromas/flavors of Big Salt greatly toned done by the fruit brought by the Cab Sauv... cherry and watermelon jolly ranchers with a salty spray. Much more my style! — 4 days ago

Rich, vegetal, smoky/flinty aromas. A wonderful medium body, black cherry and blackberry compote, flinty minerals, grippy tannins. PG is going to love this.
